Lima Vegan Peruvian Food Tour in Artsy Barranco

Testimonials

  Justin

  I did not expect to enjoy it so much. I thought it was just going to be tasting food from one vegan restaurant to the next. It was educational and interesting. I loved learning about the different flavor profiles of the chocolate and how it's made. Fruit tasting was cool - I now love granadillas so much!

Questions?

• 01 What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
  If you suffer any allergy o dietary restrictions, make sure to inform us in the checkout notes or via email once you completed your booking so we can take all the necessary precautions. This tour can cater for people with any allergy, including but not limited to gluten, lactose and soy. This food tour, including for those who book the Shared Group service, can be adapted for people on a vegetarian or vegan diet. While our goal is to be as inclusive as possible, we are unfortunately unable to offer halal and kosher alternatives at the moment due to the difficulty for some Peruvian restaurants to acquire and stock item with such characteristics.
• 02 What if one or several people in our group are not vegan?
  Good news – as we visit the exact same places as our non-vegan Barranco food tour, if one or several members of your groups have a non-vegan diet, we can definitely adapt the menu to their preferences. If you book our shared service, the group will actually be mixed between vegan and non-vegans guests. Just let us know when you book!
• 03 Do we eat a lot during this food tour? Does it constitute a meal?
  Definitely! We recommend not eating anything else other than a light breakfast before this food tour. This tour constitutes a breakfast and an average-sized lunch with dessert.
• 04 Can you pick me up and drop me off from/at any location?
  Pick up and drop off is not included in the Shared Group price, but it can be arranged at an extra cost from/to pretty much anywhere in the city. Of course price will vary depending on the distance and the type of vehicle you need for your party. If you want to be picked up or dropped off in your hotel, at the airport, the Callao cruise port, the historic center of Lima or a museum, please reach out to us and we will send you a quote in no time!
• 05 Do I have to book in advance?
  We recommend to book at least 1 week in advance to make sure it's not sold out, but we accept bookings up to 10 hours before the tour starts.
• 06 Is this food tour physically demanding?
  Not at all! Between each stops there's a 3 to 8 minutes walk. A light 30-minutes walk takes place mid-tour for sightseeing purposes though. This longer walk traditionally include some stairs, but if your mobility is limited or if you are tired, just let our guide know – we will actually have a shorter alternative for you!
• 07 I’m a solo traveller. Can I book a food tour too?
  We encourage it! This food tour will allow you to meet other travelers who are passionate about gastronomy. Do not be afraid to book, even if you are solo. We could have other reservations for that same day so you can share the experience with other foodies.
• 08 Is this food tour family friendly? If I'm bringing an infant/very young child, do I need to purchase a ticket for them?
  If you are traveling with infants or children under 6, you would only be required to purchase a ticket and pay the "Under 18" rate if you'd like them to have access to their own food servings. If you prefer to share your food with your little ones and/or if you want them to eat the food you prepared for them before the tour, there is no need to purchase a ticket for them – they can participate for free. However, please let us know in the booking comments if non-paying children are going to be present so our guide knows and will be prepared for it.
• 09 Can I book this food tour as a private tour?
  Absolutely! You can book a private food tour for your party as is (via the "Book Now" button), or you can customize this tour so it caters to your needs and expectations (reach out to us via email). We are used to design tailor-made experiences for small and big groups – back in 2019 we went up to 150 people at once!
• 10 What if I don’t drink alcohol?
  If you do not drink alcohol, don’t worry! We will provide non-alcoholic drinks instead. Please make sure you add that information in the "Additional comments" section when finalizing your booking. No alcoholic beverages will be served to our guests under 18 years of age.
• 11 Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
  Unfortunately, this tour is only partially wheelchair accessible. Sadly, one stop in particular is only accessible through a staircase, and a small portion of the itinerary has shamefully narrow sidewalks. The good news is that we would still be able to offer you a tailor-made private food tour with an itinerary that would match about 90% of the standard tour. Reach out to us via email to make this possible.
• 12 Do you offer any other tour?
  Yes, we have several food tours in the bank. Each of them offer a different perspective on Peruvian gastronomy. We like to think we have an option for all budgets and interests! Although we specialize in food tourism, if you'd like to visit a museum, or another area of Lima not covered by one of our tours, please do let us know – we will for sure be able to arrange something with the help of our trusted partners.
• 13 Is Lima safe?
  Just like in any big city, you have to be careful with your belongings in crowded areas. Of course, Peru being a country with big inequalities showing off the latest smartphone or an expensive watch in the street could unfortunately make you a target for thieves. But if you keep a low profile, you should be more than fine!
• 14 How likely am I to get sick?
  With our tour, extremely unlikely. All the stops are carefully vetted by our team and we run regular checks to make sure they maintain the same standards, both in terms of quality of the food as well as hygiene. Food poisoning is of course something that shouldn't be ignored in Peru, so we always recommend to eat or drink at places that were recommended by at least one local person, combined with positive online reviews.
